Um 50 ár... (original)

Tað eru nú liðin 120 ár síðani sjálvstýrisrørslan í Føroyum tók seg upp
Og líka frá byrjan hava vit verið noyddir til at berjast á tveimum hermótum
Ein tann fyrsta orrustan var, at fáa føroyingum føroyskt mál inn í skúlarnar og
kirkjurnar í Føroyum
Soleiðis at tey føroysku børnini kundu spyrja, læra og tosa á móðurmálinum
Í staðin fyri at skula og sita og jabba kongarekkjur og tabellir á einum máli,
tey onki skiltu av
Tað var so seint sum í 1938, at tað varð komið á mál
eftir drúgva togtogan við mynduleikarnar í Danmark og sambandsmenninar í Føroyum
Og eg kenni ongan føroying, sum heldur vildi havt danskt í skúlanum
Og um 50 ár verða eingir føroyingar sambandsmenn
Tað var heldur ikki í lagi við teimum donsku myndugleikunum, at vit fingu
okkara egna flagg.
Ikki fyrr enn Danmark varð hersett av týskinum og vit av bretunum
Fingu føroysk skip forboð ímóti at sigla undir Dannebrog
Stríðið um Merkið
Føroyska flaggið, sum leingi hevði møtt mótstøðu frá dønum og teirra gimpum í
Føroyum
Skuldi nú verða vundið á stong á øllum Føroyskum skipum
Vóru sambandsmenninir fyri?
Guð vóru teir ei!
Teir vildu heldur hava okkum at brúka okkurt fyribils flagg
Soleiðis at aftan á kríggið kundi Dannebrog aftur veittra í húnar hátt í Føroyum
Kennir tú nakran føroying í dag, sum ikki er góður við Merkið?
Teir kunnu teljast á einari hond
Og um 50 ár eru ongir føroyingar sambandsmenn
Hvat eru tað fyri fólk, sum koma sær at læra síni børn, at tey ikki eru líka
nógv verd sum onnur menniskju,
Sum trútta niður í tey hjálparsloysi og undirlutakenslur
og læra tey at ganga ímóti sínum náttúrligu menniskjansligu instinktum?
Vit eru ikki býttari enn onnur fólkasløg
Vit eru ikki býttari enn onnur fólkasløg
Vit eru ikki býttari enn onnur fólkasløg
Og tað kann ikki vera so ómøguligt at fáa eitt so lítið land sum okkara upp at
koyra
Og um 50 ár eru ongir føroyingar sambandsmenn
Um 50 ár verða ongir sambandsmenn eftir
Um 50 ár fer hesin spurningurin ikki longur at skilja okkum
Um 50 ár, tá vit langt síðani eru vorðin sjálvstøðug
Og fólk hava sæð, at tað var ikki so ringt, og vit vóru ikki so skíthamrandi
býtt
Og smakkurin av fullveldi ikki var so beiskur hóast alt
Tá fara vit øll allíkavæl at standa øksl móti øksl á Vaglinum á ólavsøku,
á tjóðarhátíðini
Og syngja «Tú alfagra land mítt"av heilum hjarta
Og børnini, sum vaksa upp, fara ongantíð at undrast á hví tað man standa «Danmark"og «danskari"í passinum hjá mammu og pápa
Og tá børnini spyrja teir gomlu, fyrrverandi sambandsmenninar, hví teir bóru
seg so býttisliga at
Tá fara sambandsmenninir at skammast og kísta børnini út í túnið at spæla
Um 50 ár verða ongir sambandsmenn
Um 50 ár verða ongir sambandsmenn
Um 50 ár verða ongir sambandsmenn
Um 50 ár, so fer alt hetta her at vera líka mikið
Tí um 50 ár fer hesin spurningurin ikki longur at skilja okkum

(translation)

It has now been 120 years since the self-government movement in the Faroes took off
And also from the beginning we have been forced to fight on two fronts
One of the first battles was to get the Faroese language into the schools and
the churches in the Faroes
So that Faroese children can ask, learn and speak in their mother tongue
Instead of washing and sitting and talking about king racks and tables in one language,
they didn't sign off
It was so late in 1938 that it came to a head
after the tug-of-war between the Danish and Swedish federations in the Faroe Islands
And I teach ongan føroying, who also wanted to have Danish at school
And in about 50 years, no Faroese will be confederates
It was also not okay with the Danish authorities, that we got
our own flag.
No sooner had Denmark been occupied by the Germans than by the British
A Faroese ship was forbidden to sail under Dannebrog
The War for the Mark
The Faroese flag, which for a long time had met resistance from the people and their gimps
The fjords
All Faroese ships should now be put to rest
Were the confederates gone?
God they were not!
They also wanted us to use our flag
So that at the back of the war, Dannebrog was able to return to the way it was in the Faroes
Do you teach someone today who is not good at the Mark?
They could be counted on one hand
And for about 50 years, young Faroese are federal members
What kind of people are they, who come to teach their children that they are not the same
enough for another human being,
Some fall into tey helplessness and subterfuge
and learn to go against their natural human instincts?
We are no better than other people
We are no better than other people
We are no better than other people
And it can't be that impossible to get a country as small as ours
koyra
And for about 50 years, young Faroese are federal members
In about 50 years, there will be few confederates left
For 50 years, this question is not going to make us understand
About 50 years ago, we became self-sufficient
And people have a feeling that it wasn't that bad, and we weren't that shitty
good
And the taste of sovereignty was not so bitter after all
Then we all go to stand shoulder to shoulder on the Vaglin on Olavsøku,
during the festival
And sing "Tú alfagra my land" with all my heart
And the children who grow up will never wonder why they say "Denmark" and "Danish" in their mom and dad's passports.
And then the children ask the old, former confederate, why they lived
say so usefully that
Then the confederates start to feel ashamed and throw the child out into the field to play
In about 50 years there will be young confederates
In about 50 years there will be young confederates
In about 50 years there will be young confederates
About 50 years, so all this is going to be a lot too
After about 50 years, these questions do not go far to understand us
